When bombs went off at the Kyadondo Rugby Club and the Ethiopian Village Restaurant in Kampala on the night of Sunday July 11, 2010, the early blame was put on the Somali militant group Al-Shabab.

Later, the international consensus was that it was indeed Al-Shabab. (The Uganda Record refused and still refuses to take that view.) Suddenly, it seemed, the pressure that had been exerted on President Yoweri Museveni by the U.S. administration over electoral reform and the rampant abuse of human rights was off.
